This movement we're building is a lot bigger than any one politician in my mind.
Yeah.
Whether it's Cornyn or Paxton, whether it's President Trump, like it's bigger than any of those personalities because we're trying to go after the system itself.
right, that's producing the kind of corruption that you see from Ken Paxton or John Cornyn.
because both of them have really forfeited their right to represent all of us in the US Senate.
Both of them have sold us out time and time again.
Ken Paxton's crimes are well known.
I was part of the bipartisan majority in the Texas House that voted to impeach our corrupt Attorney General.
So I know his crimes better than most people do.
But I would say that John Cornyn
is even more corrupt than Ken Paxton, which is surprising.
I don't know if people are gonna believe me when I say that, but John Cornyn was the deciding vote on that big ugly bill last year that people may remember.
It's a bill that is gonna kick millions of Texans off their healthcare.
It's gonna take food out of the mouths of hungry Texas children, all to give yet another tax break to John Cornyn's billionaire mega donors.
And Ken Paxton was impeached for using his public office to enrich his donors in a very literal, illegal way.
But John Cornyn, at a massive scale, is using his public office to enrich his donors.
So to me, it's two sides of the same corrupt coin.
And I think it's the kind of politics that people are sick of.
on both sides of the aisle.
And I think that's what's motivating this movement.
